From Kate Borg (she/her) To Everyone: I especially love this in the context of ÒbehaviorÓ These questions should always be part of supporting deafblind studentsÕ behavior needs.

From Kate Borg (she/her) To Everyone: Great resources for providing this support: https://txdeafblindproject.org/behavioral-supports/about-guidance-for-planning-behavior-intervention/

From Robbin Clark To Everyone: YES! That was awesome!!

From Brenda Glover To Everyone: Does the ECC continue into college, or does it stop once they graduate?

From Kate Borg (she/her) To Everyone: Brenda, thatÕs such a good question. The hope is that students will always continue to receive instruction in areas that they need, but we know that doesnÕt always happen. So we look at the ECC as tools that help get students ready for adulthood

From Kate Borg (she/her) To Everyone: Access is everything. This cannot be stressed enough. And I love that you emphasized that weÕre not just talking about access to instruction.

From Robbin Clark To Everyone: I totally agree!

From Brenda Glover To Everyone: Thanks

From Kate Borg (she/her) To Everyone: We do our best to provide support to adult service providers. But, again, this isnÕt always available in every state. So we just offer resources as best we can

From Margaret Howell To Everyone: Is this chart in the ETT for Teachers of Students who are Deafblind?
